For the past five days I have been neck-deep in IT shenanigans far beyond my pay grade. Next week the Raw Deal will take on a new, sleeker and more reader-friendly look. During the changeover I immersed myself in other blogs for inspiration. Often, I enjoy taking a break from the norm and find myself reading things of a completely different nature. This evening I stumbled upon a most unique and entertaining post by Sam Sommers, Ph.D. and Social Psychologist at Tufts university. Here’s what I found: Read the rest of this entry »

Ever wonder what happens at that moment when al-Qaeda martyrs realize they made a big mistake? Fortunately, an increasing number of these murderous radicals are finding out what is really in store for them, death. Today, two more were disappointed…

Five people suffering from serious radiological burns were hospitalized in West New Delhi this week from contact with nuclear material in a Delhi scrap market.

(Familysecuritymatters.org) Media ignore the disasters, praying they will go away, but two effects of White House foreign policy are already on display this week. Traffic jams caused by Washington’s ballyhooed “Nuclear Summit” are missing two motorcades. It seems that Britain’s Prime Minister Gordon Brown and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have something better to do than meet with the Obama administration. Oh dear.

While driving in the car today I heard a discussion on the radio (WTKK 96.9) about Marcus Luttrell’s decision to spare the lives of some goat herders in Afghanistan and how that decision ultimately cost his entire team their lives. Deep down Luttrell knew the herders were Taliban informants, but his concern for how the liberal media back home would twist the story swayed his better judgment. Roughly forty minutes after releasing the herders, Luttrell and his team of SEALS were attacked by 200-300 armed Taliban. Here is the story:

I am all for freedom of speech, but I don’t understand why an American company would choose to “revere” a Marxist murderer in this way. Steve Jobs’ Apple company has a new application – it’s the “Che Guevara – Just the Facts” eBook..
